Abstract 3276: The tissue and cellular destination of therapeutic IgGs in glioblastoma

Most patients with recurrent glioblastoma (GBM) are treated with bevacizumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody (mAb) that binds VEGF-A and inhibits its binding to VEGFR. Approximately 30% of GBM patients are non-responsive to bevacizumab and the underlying mechanism for the lack of response is not known. It has been assumed that bevacizumab solely targets circulating VEGF-A in blood. We hypothesized that bevacizumab and human IgGs in general gain...
